Item 4 – Christ Church<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b>a) West porch plan. We have now received an outline proposal from AFK which broadly establishes that the restoration of the west porch is feasible. He has supplied some sketches which we will use as part of a broader consultation exercise with the congregation. ACTION:SG to discuss possible costs with AFK<\/b>.<\/p>\n
b) We will need DAC faculty for the porch \u2013 the plans incorporate removing a small number of pews at the rear of the church to increase the circulation space and to accommodate a new position for the Audio visual console.<\/p>\n
c) LED Lighting AFK and Binary electronics have had a fruitful collaboration and have created a new design proposal for an LED based pendant lighting scheme. We will use this to communicate the proposed LED trial in the Lady Chapel to the wider congregation and initiate a discussion on lighting in general. ACTION: MP to complete temporary licence application \u2013 SG to write to the DAC and advise them of our intentions re the lighting and seek their support. SG to forward the designs and proposal to PCC (Peter Ford) for a resolution to commit to the LC trial<\/b><\/p>\n
d) AV update. MP updated us on the latest quote and advice from SMS. They have quoted an overall figure of \u00a312k to cover our basic requirements plus a new mixing console. Their advice was however that we could probably do the installation of new radio mikes and receivers ourselves. Bernard Oxborrow has been thinking about how this could be done. Proposal to replace 2 of the broken radio mikes with new ones<\/b> accepted<\/b>\u2013 this will solve our immediate problems. We can then review performance and decide on the next steps.<\/p>\n

b)\u00a0\u00a0 Kitchen Design \u2013 We are unable to claim kitchen equipment (Cookers, Fridges etc as zero rated under the main project so we have elected to source the equipment and design ourselves.

In line with our previous proposals to sell off or donate the unwanted hall contents MP reported a contribution of \u00a3172 to D&R funds from the sale of assorted tables, screens and redundant electrical equipment \u2013 thanks go to Mike and ebay.

f)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rubbish arrangements \u2013 Once we have cleared the existing burning pile ready for the new Garden, it will be important to establish a new regime for rubbish and recycling in the burial ground and church.

This is being done in partnership with the Burial Board. ACTION MP to follow up with Bernard and Pam.<\/b><\/p>\n
